Armed with the knowledge that it might take the '94 Dream Team to get legislation past the senate after Scott "Big Daddy" Brown's victory, President Obama's bringing his political ringers in. Also: raging at the (Supreme Court) machine.

Their Voltron capabilities have yet to be fully disclosed, but one thing's certain: these guys know how to raise a buck, which is obviously what Obama's now gonna need if he wants a fighting chance of getting anything done over the next two years, let alone getting reelected.
